Over the last couple of weekends I built a mini greenhouse. I dismantled a raised bed garden and replaced it with a new improved growing envoirment.The greenhouse is insulated and the soil inside acts as a thermal mass to even out the temperatue swings. I put a door on the north wall and two steps so you can step down into the greenhouse and tend to the plants. I can reach all the plants easily. Right now I have lemon verbena, oregano,and four types of basil in the green house. They seem to like it just fine.
I have had the idea for this greenhouse kicking around in my head for years. It is so nice to get it finally built..........so nice to create a warm moist growing space............not too big.........not too small........just perfect........perfect for the plants........perfect for the yard.......perfect for Barb and I. Barb's going to grow her veggies in there next spring........in where the bunny can't get them.
